1 Elderberries Georgia C. Lauritzen, PhD., R.D., Nutrition Specialist & Carl M. Johnson, Associate Professor Emeritus, Forestry Resources 1992 FN 252 This common plant has an interesting history of use in the State of Utah, as well as throughout a good portion of North America. There are seven native species, two of which are mostly shrubby and found in eastern North America. Five species, more or less arborescent, grow throughout the Rocky Mountains and west to the Pacific Ocean from SW Canada to NW Mexico. The most abundant species found in Utah is Elderberry (Blueberry Elder or Blue Elderberry). The scientific name is Sambucus glauca Nutt. or some authors classify it S. cerulea. Common names seem to vary with local usage. Some authors do not consider this plant a tree due to its varied stature (By definition, a tree is a perennial plant, with a single woody trunk or stem with secondary thickening in form of annual growth rings, a single high crown and root system, and when mature, at least 2" DBH and 16' high (varies by authors 8-20').) The majority of our specimens in Utah are rather small and shrubby in appearance. However, on better sites along ravines, stream bottoms and moist hillsides, more arborescent specimens may be found, some reaching 50' in height (commonly 20' or less) and 12" DBH (diameter at breast height). Other identification characteristics: Leaves are pinnately compound, produced in pairs along the twigs. One complete leaf is about 7" long 7" wide. Each leaf has 7 9 leaflets, each of which is about 3" long, oval or narrow-oblong, sharp pointed, with finely toothed margins. Twigs are stout and brittle with large pith or hallow centers. Buds arise from leaf axils, are greenish and scaly. Flowers are abundant in early summer, in showy white dense clusters that produce blue drupe like berries, usually covered with a whitish glaucous bloom. When ripe these berries are about ¼" in diameter, with sweet juicy flesh. Each fruit contains 3 5 tiny nutlets. Bark is thin, furrowed and gray brown. Wood is so, light in weight and brownish in color. A fairly large pith or hollow tube is common, even in large stems. These trees have little importance from the wood produced, even through it occasionally may be used for firewood. The primary, uses for Elderberries in Utah are for the fruit produced. The foliage is eaten by wildlife, especially deer and elk browse it heavily. The berries are used for food for birds and human delicacies. The berries are somewhat distasteful when green. Ripe berries produce an abundance of sweet juice that is used for jelly, jam, syrup, etc. The whole berries, even though somewhat seedy, make excellent pies. The native Americans had a use for almost all parts of this plant; berries for food (fresh or dried); stems for tubes, pipes and musical instruments. Some Indians called this plant the tree of music, since the smaller twigs and limbs made excellent flutes.
2 Strips from larger limbs made arrow shas. Flowers were used for external antiseptic washes. Domestic animals also feed on the plant leaves and twigs. Use Most of the berries which are gathered are used to make wine. Suggestions for home use are fresh or with cream as desserts such as pies, cobblers and fruit dumplings. Elderberries are oen preserved whole, as juice, syrup and jelly. The flavor might be enhanced by combining with other fruits or fruit juices such as apples.

Smaller amounts of calcium, iron, phosphorus and the B Vitamins. Canning Instructions Quantity: An average of 12 pounds is needed per canner load of 7 quarts; an average of 8 pounds is needed per canner load of 9 pints. Quality: Choose ripe, sweet berries with uniform color. Procedure: Wash 1 or 2 quarts of berries at a time. Drain, cap, and stem if necessary. Prepare and boil preferred syrup. Syrup Type Approx.% Sugar PREPARING AND USING SYRUPS For 9-Pint Load Measures of Water and Sugar For 7-Quart Load c.h 2 O c.sugar c.h 2 O c.sugar Very Light 10 6½ ¾ 10½ 1¼ Light 20 5¾ 1½ 9 2¼ Medium 30 5¼ 2¼ 8¼ 3¾ Heat water and sugar together. Bring to a boil and pour over raw fruit in jars. For hot packs, bring water and sugar to boil, add fruit, reheat to boil, and fill into jars immediately. Other sweeteners: Light corn syrups or mild-flavored honey may be used to replace up to half the table sugar called for in syrups. Adjust lids and process.
3 Recommended process time for Elderberries, whole in a boiling water canner Pack Style Jar Size 0-1,000 1,001-3,000 Pints or Quarts 3,001-6,000 above 6, min. 20 min. 20 min. 25 min. Raw Pints 15 min. 20 min. 20 min. 25 min. Quarts 20 min. 25 min. 30 min. 35 min. Berry Syrup Yield: About 9 half-pints. Procedure: Select 6½ cups of fresh or frozen fruit. Wash and stem fresh fruit and crush in a saucepan. Heat to boiling and simmer until so (5 to 10 minutes). strain hot fruit through a colander and drain until cool enough to handle. strain the collected juice through a double layer of cheesecloth or jelly bag. Discard the dry pulp. The yield of the juice should be about 4½ to 5 cups. Combine the juice with 6¾ cups of sugar in a large saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer 1 minute. To make a syrup with whole fruit pieces, save 1 or 2 cups of the fresh or frozen fruit, combine these with the sugar, and simmer as in making regular syrup. Remove from heat, skim off foam, and fill into clean half-pint jars, leaving ½-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process. Recommended process time for Berry Syrup in a boiling water canner Pack Style Jar Size 0-1,000 1,001-6,000 Above 6,000 Half-pints or pints 10 min. 15 min. 20 min. Making Jelly without Added Pectin Use only firm fruits naturally high in pectin. Select a mixture of about ¾ ripe and ¼ under ripe fruit. Wash fruit thoroughly before cooking. Crush berries. Put 4 pounds of fruit and 1 cup of water in large saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer 5-10 minutes until fruit is so, while stirring to prevent scorching. One pound of fruit should yield at least 1 cup of clear juice. When fruit is tender, strain through a colander, then strain through a double layer of cheesecloth or a jelly bag. Allow juice to drip through, using a stand or colander to hold the bag. Pressing or squeezing the bag or cloth will cause cloudy jelly. Measure 4 cups of fruit juice and 3 4 cups of sugar and heat to boiling. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Boil over high heat to the jellying point. To test jelly for doneness. use one of the following methods. Temperature test: Use a jelly or candy thermometer and boil until mixture reaches the following temperatures at altitudes of:
4 Sea Level 220 F 1, F 2, F 3, F 4, F 5, F 6, F 7, F 8, F Sheet or spoon test: Dip a cool metal spoon into the boiling jelly mixture. Raise the spoon bout 12 inches above the pan (out of steam). Turn the spoon so the liquid runs off the side. The jelly is done when the syrup forms two drops that flow together and sheet off the edge of the spoon. Remove from head and quickly skim off foam. Fill sterile jars with jelly, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process. Recommended process time for Jelly without added pectin in a boiling-water canner Pack Style Jar Size 0-1,000 1,001-6,000 Above 6,000 Half-pints or pints 5 min. 10 min. 15 min. Making Jelly with Added Pectin Fresh fruits and juices as well as canned or frozen fruit juice can be used with commercially prepared powered or liquid pectin. The order of combining ingredients depends on the type of pectin used. Complete directions for a variety of fruits are provided with packaged pectin. Jelly made with added pectin requires less cooking and generally gives a large yield. These products have more natural fruit flavors, also. Purchase fresh pectin each year. Old pectin may result in poor gels. Follow the instructions with each package and process as below: Recommended process time for Jelly with added pectin in a boiling-water canner Pack Style Jar Size 0-1,000 1,001-6,000 above 6,000 Half pints or pints 5 min. 10 min. 15 min.
5 ELDERBERRY PIE FILLING Quantities of Ingredients Needed for: 1 Quart 7 Quarts Fresh or thawed Elderberries 3½ cups 6 quarts Granulated sugar ¾ c. + 2 tbsp 6 cups Clear Jel ¼ c. + 1 tbsp 2¼ c. Cold water 1 cup 7 cups Bottled lemon juice 3½ tsp ½ cup Quality: Select fresh, ripe, and firm berries. Unsweetened frozen berries may be used. IF sugar has been added, rinse it off while fruit is still frozen. Yield: 1 quart or 7 quarts Procedures: Wash and drain fresh berries. For fresh fruits, place 6 cups at a time in 1 gallon boiling water. Boil each batch 1 minute aer the water returns to a boil. Drain but keep heated fruit in a covered bowl or pot. Combine sugar and Clear Jel in a large kettle. Stir. Add water. Cook on medium high heat until mixture thickens and begins to bubble. Add lemon juice and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Fold in berries (drained) immediately and fill jars with mixture, leaving ½ 1 inch headspace. Adjust lids and process. Recommended process time for Elderberry Pie filling in a boiling-water canner Pack Style Jar Size 0-1,000 1,001-3,000 pints or quarts 3,001-6,000 above 6, min. 35 min. 40 min. 45 min. Freezing Whole Berries Sort and wash Elderberries and package according to one of the following methods. Dry pack, no sugar. Pack into containers, leaving ½ inch headspace. Seal and freeze, This method is used when berries are used in cooked dishes. Wet pack, in syrup. Pack into containers, cover with syrup, leaving ½ inch headspace. Seal and freeze. This method is used when berries are served uncooked. A medium syrup is made by dissolving 3 cups of sugar in 4 cups of water, to yield 5½ cups of syrup. Chill before using. Elaine Roundy of Boulder, Utah, provided some information on use of elderberries as well as some pie recipes. Her special interest in elderberries was because of the wild, abundant elderberry crop which grows on Boulder mountain. As a child it was a late summer family tradition to spend a day gathering berries. Elaine suggests for the best flavor combining elderberries with apples. She uses a cup of crabapple juice with elderberry juice when making jelly and in her pie recipe.
6 Elderberry-Apple Pie 3½ cups fresh elderberries ¾ cup thinly sliced tart apple 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 cup sugar a cup flour Mix all ingredients together, place in pastry lined pan and dot with butter. Add top crust. Bake at 400 F for 35 to 40 min. 1 2 crust pie. References Andersen, B. A. & Holmgren, A. H. Mountain Plants of Northeastern Utah.
